Just a Strayer original, soon to be made into a song
---------------------------------------
Driving on a rainy night
Looking for some kind of light
In the darkness
That's when I lose control of the car
And/But I tell myself it won't be far
To safety
I pray that this is not the end
Fate conspires and I contend,
I contend
'Cause heaven's not a place I'd like to be
If you were not next to me
Flashback. my life, you're all I see
Never forget me
Suddenly I feel very COLD
Light shines all around me
Could this be that Holy place?
I hear heavenly sounds
Then I remember what I'd leave behind
My life, my friends, something I'll never again find:
YOU
'Cause heaven's not a place I'd like to be
If you weren't here with me
And I'd give up having everything
Just so I could hold you again
I wake up in a hospital room
Doctor's come and nurses loom
They all ask me if I can speak
Outstretch my arm, Its you I seek
All I feel is your gentle touch on my hand
Makes me remember how we used to walk HAND in hand
I've realized that I was in heaven before
But, if I'm not with you,
I don't wanna be there anymore
Heaven's not a place I'd like to be
If you weren't here with me
I'll tell you I love you whenever I can
And I promise to never leave you again.
